Yun Aotian, who was hiding at the corner of the piano store, slowly walked out after seeing Han Yi'er leaving.
Standing in the distance, he reluctantly watched her cold figure disappear from his sight little by little...
【recall……】
After reading the documents submitted by the secretary, Yun Aotian's face became very gloomy, and he turned around and quickly returned to the office.
He sat down on the office chair, supporting the handle of the chair with one hand and frowning.
After thinking hard for a long time, he raised his hand to start the computer and log in to msn.
Clicking on the avatar of Director Wang of the Board of Directors, the crisp sound of the keyboard sounded.
After communicating with Director Wang for a long time, Yun Aotian slapped the keyboard hard with a "pop" sound.
Putting his hands on the table, he angrily swept everything off the desk.
He stood up, quickly left the company, and drove the car towards the board of directors.
The car drove for about 10 minutes, and the flow of people on both sides of the road gradually thinned out. At the end of a deserted street, there was a high-end business-style two-story villa.
Peach blossoms stand outside the villa, with a circular fountain in the center surrounded by security personnel. To outsiders, this place looks very grand and mysterious!
After stopping the car, the doorman at the door of the villa bowed deeply to Yun Aotian: "Mr. Yun."
With no time to pay attention, he rushed open the two magnificent doors. Yun Aotian entered the elevator with a dark face and pressed the 2nd floor button.
With clenched fists, with a crisp "ding dong" sound, the elevator reached the second floor.
The moment the elevator door opens, two wooden lattice doors come into view.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and pushed open the two wooden doors...
"Aotian, you are here..."
Inside the two wooden doors is a high-end conference hall. In front of an oval conference table, there are no less than a dozen senior figures of the Emperor Group who are over forty years old.
Most of these senior figures are relatives of the Yun family and members of the board of directors of Emperor Group.
The seat in the middle of the round table was vacant, and sitting next to it was the deputy director of the Emperor, Yun Aotian's aunt.
Seeing Yun Aotian's arrival, most of the directors had cunning smiles on their faces.
Looking at their smiles, Yun Aotian's gloomy and cold face became more and more condensed: "Fellow directors, I have received your "urgent documents." As a junior, how could I not come right away?"
"Okay..." A man glanced at him seriously and asked sternly: "Aotian, since you have read the document, we don't need to say anything more, right?"
"wait……"
"Deputy Director!" There was a "pop" sound, and the man slapped the table hard, interrupting the deputy director's words: "Last time, you were the deputy director who begged Aotian, so we were accommodating for the time being. Could it be that this
Does the second vice chairman still want to turn the tide and protect his nephew?"
"This..." Yun Aotian's aunt was left speechless by the question and lowered her head in silence.
Although the Emperor Group is indeed a family business, it is divided into multiple factions.
One of the factions is a faction that strongly supports the Yun family, headed by Aunt Yun Aotian. This faction owns 50% of the shares of the Yun family.
The other faction is the one that opposes the Yun family, led by the man just now. And that man is the son-in-law of Uncle Yun Mu and the director. After all, he is also Yun Aotian's cousin. The shares of this group together probably own Yun Aotian.
30% equity in the family.
The remaining 20% of the shares belong to the neutral faction.
Most of the members of the neutral faction are people with foreign surnames. They moved into the Emperor Group after a large investment. What they want is money, not power. Therefore, it has nothing to do with them who is a director or who is the president.
"Director Li!" Yun Aotian gave a condensed smile and walked slowly from the gate to Director Li: "I don't need the protection of the deputy director. As the saying goes, one person can do the work and one person can do it."
"Okay!" Standing up, Director Li looked directly at Yun Aotian with his sharp eyes: "With your words, I feel relieved..." He put his hands into his pockets, and with a sly smile on his lips, he asked arrogantly: "
Then do you still remember your previous promise?"
"Remember, of course I remember..." With a slight smile, Yun Aotian nodded affirmatively.
Director Li's sly smile gradually turned into a victorious laugh, his eyes flashed, and he said sharply: "Then you can submit your resignation now, right?!"
Due to the previous scandals involving Han Yi'er, Lin Yuze, and Mia, Yun Aotian used his position to protect the three of them, in exchange for the fact that the sales volume of this record must not be lower than the cost.
But the urgent document just submitted by the secretary showed...
The crystal CD case of the single "The Forest Where You Was" showed an irresistible scratch after it left the factory.
Obviously, this is a problem with the inspection process of the technical department.
But now that CDs have come out, large quantities of goods are all stored in Emperor's warehouses. It is impossible to find the manufacturer of crystal CD boxes for compensation, so Emperor Group has to bear this responsibility internally.
If the investigation is pursued, no one from the inspector to Lin Yuze and Yun Aotian will be able to escape his involvement.
I just don’t understand why all the inspectors didn’t discover such an obvious technical loophole?
Is this mistake human-made? Or was it negligence?
Yun Aotian vaguely felt that he was in the middle of a huge conspiracy.
However, it was that scandal that started!!
"Haha, Director Li, you seem to have made a mistake somewhere, right?" He was calm and calm, even though there were many doubts in his heart, he still showed confidence and calmness on the outside.
Director Li frowned and asked in confusion: "Where did I go wrong?"
"I said before that I would submit my resignation if the sales volume was lower than the cost. But the record hasn't been sold yet? How did you know that you would lose money?"
With a cold question, Director Li's smiling expression gradually turned serious: "Aotian, don't you want to sell broken CDs to customers?"
"How is that possible?" Shrugging, Yun Aotian turned around and walked slowly towards the door of the conference room: "I still know more or less what the reputation of Emperor Group is. Don't worry, if I can't think of a solution, I will resign to satisfy you.
It’s my wish!” After saying that, he opened the two doors and quickly left the conference hall.
Just listen, the roaring voice of Director Li came from behind: "Aotian, give up, now Emperor has no extra liquidity to invest in this project, unless someone voluntarily invests and becomes a shareholder of Emperor!"
Standing at the door, the moment I turned my head, the two doors slowly closed...
Yun Aotian's confident smile disappeared instantly after the two doors closed...
It’s not that I don’t know that Emperor’s internal operating funds are almost zero now, and I also understand that if we blindly invest in this CD, no matter how good the sales volume is, we will end up losing everything.
If you find an idiot investor who is willing to invest voluntarily, you will still be fired.
Neither method seems to work, but...
At this time, Yun Aotian hopes to find an "idiot investor" to invest in this project while he still has the ability.
At the very least, this could barely sustain Han Yi'er's dream.
'Yi'er...what else can I do for you before I run out of energy?'
Ang Tian sighed, took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, Yun Aotian's head gradually lowered, and walked towards the door of the villa with heavy steps.
"Hey, is this Director Fang?" When I mentioned the phone, for some reason, every time I had no way out, the one who begged for a way out was always a man who was "careful" about Yi'er.
Is it because I am too useless? Or does Yier fascinate a promising man too much?
"Mr. Yun, what's going on?"
"Director Fang, I currently have a project that requires investment. If you are interested, could you spare some time to discuss it with me in detail?"
"Project? Mr. Yun, you should talk to the project manager about these matters, right? I'm very busy now..."
Although Fang Heng and Yun Aotian are quite close friends, after all, business is business and does not allow any personal feelings to be mixed in.
Nowadays, Fang Heng's words are undoubtedly a kind of "business quotation", and it is a great insult to Yun Aotian.
It was as if he was a salesman who was sent to his subordinates by a big client.
Clenching his fists and biting his lower lip, he still maintained a humble tone in the face of this insult: "Okay, I understand, sorry to bother you."
"kindness."
The phone was coldly hung up, and Yun Aotian gave a bitter smile. In today's society, the only person who asks for help from others is his grandson, even if he is worth over 100 million yuan. Even if he has unlimited rights, he is still so powerless!
Leaning next to the car, he kept dialing the numbers of every major customer he had ever had business dealings with.
The answers I got were almost the same, and the humiliation I suffered was overshadowed every time...
He turned around and slammed the car window with both hands. He used to look down on others, but now he was being ridiculed for begging for help from a "second-class businessman" who was inferior to him.
What is a king?
The one who is invincible is the king!
Now I am worse than a beggar!!!
He raised his hand and was about to throw the phone away when a "buzzing" vibration gave Yun Aotian a glimmer of hope.
He quickly picked up the phone and asked excitedly: "Hello."
"Master..."
His excited expression turned back to disappointment, he turned around, leaned against the car, and asked feebly: "Aunt Zhang, what's the matter?"
"Yi'er, left..."
"What?" A crack formed in his humiliated heart.
I don’t understand why God is still playing tricks on him so ruthlessly at this time?
My career suddenly hit rock bottom. I wanted to see her smile when I went home, but now it has passed away quietly...
Forget it, forget it.
How could he have the face to see her when he was in such a mess?
He smiled bitterly and shook his head indifferently: "Forget it, it's okay, she might come again tomorrow..."
After hanging up the phone, he got into the car lonely and reached out to start the car.
Yun Aotian was alone, wandering aimlessly on the street...
The so-called successful man is indispensable for career, family, love, friendship and family affection.
And he...
Now it seems like nothing is available.
Changes have occurred in the career; the family is in chaos; there is little hope for love; Lin Yuze, the friend of a gentleman, disappears; and the only relative is also lying on the bed.
"Oh, I really failed..." With a self-deprecating smile, Yun Aotian drove away from the world and accidentally saw Han Yi'er sitting in the window of the piano store playing.
Standing at the corner, listening to her performance carefully and feeling her sadness...
Thinking of this...
Yun Aotian slowly walked into the piano store, and Broderick came out to greet him with a smile: "Sir, is there anything you want to see?"
"That piano, I want..." Han Yi'er pointed bluntly at the piano where she had just sat, her eyes filled with the aura of determination to win.
Broderick scratched his head in confusion, what happened today? Everyone is very interested in this piano? "Sorry, sir, this piano is not for sale."
"Why?" Walking to the piano, he didn't know much about these musical instruments. He only knew that he would satisfy Han Yi'er with whatever she wanted. He would buy anything Han Yi'er took a second look at!
"Make a price!"
"Sir, aren't you making things difficult for me? To be honest, my friend sold this piano to me to help the person he likes. And the lady who just left is the person my friend likes... She came out
Purchase at original price…”
Yun Aotian couldn't hear what Broderick said next.
I finally understood why she was so eager to get this piano, and also understood how much Lin Yuze loved her.
Haha, haha, I really want to ask, who loves her more, me or him?
Maybe……
In comparison, he hurt her more, right?
"Fifty million!" Interrupting Broderick's explanation, Yun Aotian simply offered a sky-high price to buy the piano.
She knew very well that she wanted this piano just to give it to Lin Yuze, and now that she was doing everything on her own, it was just the beauty of adulthood.
It doesn't matter...
Anyway, I haven't done anything for her, even if she is an adult, as long as she is happy...
Yun Aotian doesn't know, he doesn't know that he has actually paid a lot for her. Maybe he is not confident enough, maybe he loves her too much. In his heart, he has never done anything for her!
Broderic's expression was still very difficult: "Sir..."
"One hundred million!"
"..." Hearing this number, Broderic was almost stunned. Oh my god, this piano has been sold to this number?
After regaining his consciousness, Broderick smiled slightly and shook his head: "Sorry, I still can't sell it to you."
"Haha..." Looking directly at Broderick with cold eyes, Yun Aotian smiled slightly and walked towards the door as he said: "You can't be greedy, otherwise it will be easy to lose big for small things..."
Hearing this, Broderick clenched his fist and quickly stopped him unwillingly: "Okay, I'll sell it!"
It seems that Yun Aotian was born to be a businessman. No matter how much he wants such a thing, he will not foolishly become a businessman. Instead, he will definitely get everything he wants with a shrewd business perspective!
The price of 100 million was shouted out, and he could tell from Broderick's expression that Broderick was definitely tempted.
She doesn't like haggling like a woman, giving a tempting price all at once, believing that the person will sell it to her no matter how greedy she is.
With a sinister smile, Yun Aotian turned around, took out a gold card from his pocket, and handed it to Broderick.
After Broderick took the gold card, he smiled happily and quickly ran to swipe the card.
It seems Broderick’s ‘favorite’ can be moved by money!
"Sir!" Halfway through swiping the card, Broderick looked at Yun Aotian seriously: "Your card shows that funds cannot be activated!"
"What???" He quickly ran to the cashier and took out gold cards one after another from his wallet.
Broderick swiped one by one, and each time he failed to activate the funds.
Yun Aotian's expression changed, and he clenched his fists tightly: "You wait for me first, I will go get you the money right now!"
He quickly ran out of the music store and quickly started the car.
The Bluetooth headset was hung on the ear, and the expression was full of anger: "Miss, help me check why the funds in my account cannot be activated."
"Wait a moment, Mr. Yun..." After a moment, the bank lady politely replied: "Mr. Yun, all your funds have been frozen..."
He took off the Bluetooth headset and threw it out of the window: "Damn it! I knew it would be like this, those old foxes!!!"
Undoubtedly, the company was in a critical moment, and the group of directors who were eyeing the position of president secretly froze Yun Aotian's account.
On the single side, Yi'er's dream may no longer be fulfilled. If it fails even this time...
"Yi'er! No matter what happens, even if I, Yun Aotian, sell everything this time, I will never let you down again..." Yun Aotian finished speaking firmly and quickly increased the accelerator, feeling both sad and angry.
Heading towards home...
Oh, no doubt, another man is going to be so angry that he becomes a beauty.
can say that……
I am willing to give up everything to fulfill my wish for beauty!
Early the next morning, Han Yi'er was about to officially go to work. After spending the night with her mother, she regained her attitude towards work and set off to the company.
As she sat in the slowly rising elevator, a feeling of uneasiness arose in her heart. After all, she could no longer avoid meeting Yun Aotian in the company...
All in all, they have been keeping in touch with each other through text messages for about half a month, right?
"Manager Han, is Auntie's condition getting better?"
"Manager Han, if you need help, you can call us for help."
"Yeah yeah."
When colleagues saw Han Yi'er's appearance, they all showed their hospitality.
With a grateful smile, she nodded slightly: "Thank you for your concern. My mother's condition has improved a lot."
She was not good at revealing the truth, so she silently concealed the true situation of her mother. Looking at the concern of her colleagues, she realized that she had unknowingly integrated with everyone.
"Manager Han..." Manager Qi passed by and greeted her with a smile.
"Director Qi, I haven't been here to help you these days. By the way, regarding the release of that single, how is the company operating now?"
"Single..." Today, the entire company still doesn't know that the operation of the single is on the brink of crisis, and no one knows that Yun Aotian's situation is on the edge of a cliff. Only a few people know everything, including Director Qi.
He smiled arrogantly and rolled his eyes at Han Yi'er: "It's okay, it's okay..." After the sarcastic words fell, he turned around and returned to the office.
Han Yi'er stood there, frowning. She and everyone else were slowly getting closer, but Manager Qi still maintained an attitude of opposing her.
It doesn't matter, he is not afraid of the shadow. Manager Qi is eyeing his position. Since he is invulnerable, he naturally has no way to make a move!
Turning around and walking towards his office, he happened to meet Fang Yaru in the elevator: "Yaru..."
"Yi'er, I heard that something happened at your home. I've been busy these days and didn't go over to see you. How are you doing now?"
"Haha, it's fine……"
"That's good..." With her head hanging slightly, Fang Yaru clasped her hands together tightly and asked nervously: "Um, do you know where Director Lin has gone?"
"..." She didn't know how to explain it clearly to Fang Yaru. In fact, even she herself didn't know where Lin Yuze was now. She shook her head, with a hint of sadness on her expression: "I don't know..."
"oh."
The atmosphere in the elevator was obviously solidified, and the two women's thoughts about Lin Yuze were intertwined.
One is the truest love, the other is the purest and most beautiful friendship. They are all eagerly hoping that he can return soon...
Gradually, the day passed by unconsciously, and when I looked at the time, it was already 5 pm.
For some reason, time seems to pass very slowly today. I don’t know if it’s because Lin Yuze is no longer there, or...
That’s why Yun Aotian didn’t show up all day!
After packing up my things, I walked out of the office and found Eleanore: "Let's get off work..."
"Well, okay, goodbye, Manager Han."
"Again..." After taking two steps, he quickly turned around and asked awkwardly: "Today... did Mr. Yun come to see me?"
Haha, all women in the world are actually like this.
If men pester them all day long, they will feel tired and irritable.
When one day the man who is pestering them suddenly disappears, women will feel that something is missing in their hearts, and they will take the initiative to ask about the man's whereabouts.
Eleanore hesitated and shook her head: "No, Mr. Yun doesn't seem to have come to the company today."
After being stunned for a moment, Han Yi'er was full of doubts. Could it be that Yun Aotian was ill? "Oh." He nodded and quickly set off towards the Yun family's villa.
The original feeling of uneasiness has long been suppressed by worry.
Shortly after she got off the subway and passed by the music store again, her hurried steps stopped suddenly...
Standing in front of the piano, a longing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Although I didn't buy it, I pass by here every day and as long as I can see it, the warmth in my heart will gradually rise...
Putting away her smile, Han Yi'er turned around and was about to leave.
Broderick quickly ran out of the piano store: "Miss, please wait a moment..."
